Rosa Arctica (Haberlea rhodopensis)

Known as a regeneration flower, it is able to survive up to 31 months in a dry-out cycle, by falling into anabiosis. When proper moisture conditions are restored, it returns to life within hours. On skin, it works to jolt cellular vitality, stimulating skin's own collagen and elastin production.

Vitamin E

SqualaneA signature Kiehl’s ingredient, Squalane is a botanical lipid that is similar in molecular structure to natural skin lipids. It has an exceptional affinity to skin, and because it’s easily absorbed, Squalane helps restore skin’s natural moisture balance to keep it extra soft and supple.

Lipids

This formula also contains cocoa and shea butters and essential fatty acids such as oleic, stearic and palmatic acid to help replenish skin's barrier.

How to Apply:
-After cleansing skin, gently work Rosa Arctica in a circular motion to warm up the cream and activate the ingredients
-Work onto cheeks; avoid the eyes and mouth; work clockwise
-Next work into forehead and chin areas; be careful of the eye and mouth area
-Lastly, if you want, Rosa Arctica can be applied to the neck area
-Can use day and night
Kiehl’s Insider Tip:
Use twice daily for a smoother, firmer, and denser appearance. For best application, waken the cream between your fingers and gently pat onto skin

While only the stuff that myths are made of... Rosa Arctica invites you into the world where the impossible is possible. I have always been an avid user of moisturizer way before I associated it with old age and wrinkles. It was part of my much enjoyed nightly ritual, but I was 12 and thought that I would have flawless skin forever. Alas, another myth shattered, here I am in the twilight of well... middle age... and my imperfect skin confronts me daily or least it did. Rosa Arctica with its tingling sensation and incredible results has brought back the joy of my nightly rituals. Even better, I can't wait for morning so I can admire the results. No longer wizened, I prefer to be just wise and use a product that clearly works.

I don't typically post reviews about anything. But I felt a moral obligation to write about this because I can't believe I didn't know how good Kiehl's products are! It really feels like it's reversing the age of my skin. I'm only 30 and have good skin but this just makes me believe that I can retain good skin and make it even more radiant as I grow older! I use this with midnight recovery. Will not use any other company's skin care. This particular cream might be a tad heavy for some. I just use less of it so that it's not too heavy..

This cream transformed my skin where I don't even wear makeup. People constantly tell me how beautiful my skin is now. I am 59 years old, and I have finally found a product that delivers results. I am in love with Rose Artica Cream!

Rated 5 out of 5 by nford It works..
I really enjoy using this product as a night cream. It's very thick and extremely moisturizing so it wouldn't be very comfortable for me (personally) to use during the day.
I can't say that this made my 22 year old skin look youthful again, but i can comment on the slight differences I've seen over the past few weeks. I actually feel younger haha.

I occasionally use this rich cream as a night cream, and it really, really works!
As a 30-year-old man with very minimal signs of aging, I realize that I am not the target for this product. I can only attest very minimally to its anti-aging effects, but it does make my skin look youthful and firm when I wake up.
For more mature skin, I imagine that this is about as good as it gets. I prefer the Super Multi-Corrective Cream, but just by a hair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tseefl I look so much younger!
I'm in my 60s and people tell me I look like I'm in my 40's. I owe it to having started with the Rosa Arctica, religiously every morning, since I moved to the desert years ago. Now it's augmented by the Midnight Recovery Concentrate (at night) and the Powerful Line Reducing Concentrate in the morning on the light puppet lines. They disappear! I am grateful that Kiehl"s didn't put the lavender in this.

I love love love the Rosa Arctica moisturizer! The texture is very thick, but don't let that turn you off of this product. It moisturizes my skin like nothing else without making me greasy. I apply this at night and I can still feel it on my face when I wake up in the morning. It's that powerful. I use this along with the Powerful-Strength Line Reducing Concentrate and my skin has never been so soft and vibrant. The value is great too. I bought a jar 3 weeks ago and I've used less then a 1/3. Get this product it will change your life!
Just watch out for your pillow cases. I don't know if it's this product or the Midnight Recovery Concentrate that I use, but my white pillowcases are now yellow with product every morning.
